I'm a visual type of a person!!! I had a fantastic pair today and I thought... We should have a place to post photos of our pairings!!!

Today I had a perfect pair: La Flor Dominicana Reserva Especial El Jocko Maduro and a Black Boss Porter (my first of this brand)!!!
http://img41.imageshack.us/img41/9568/blackboss01.jpg

The porter was off the hook as well as the cigar!!! The porter had an unsweetened licorice background with hints of coffee, and a smokey flavor!!! The cigar was all leather and coffee!!!

Post your favorite pair!!! (Keep it clean please!!!)

I agree. The admins have enough to do without having to keep close tabs on this. Keep it to smoke/beverage pairs.

On behalf of all the admins, I thank you.

man SKYWALKER, I DO love a nice black broadleaf. Awesome shot.
But I have to give the prize to the Woodford Reserve and the Boli GM.
For the whiskey alone, never had the BGM. Got a few boxes, but I
can't just open one and smoke it. I have to wait. But how good is that
Woodford Reserve? MAN, I thought I had stopped at Wild Turkey-land
and settled in with my green card. But that WR gives any whiskey a run for it's money.

The picture is crappy, but the pairing was not:

A RP Vintage 1990 with a Bell's Kalamazoo Stout

http://i262.photobucket.com/albums/ii88/kaisersozei/Beer/RPStout.jpg

I found this cigar in the bottom of my humi, one of the last from a purchase about 2 years ago. Was surprisingly peppery for a Vintage 1990, with the same woody finish and the nice chocolate, bread and leather tastes that I love about these. The sweet, roasty stout was an excellent compliment.

This has to be the strangest pairing I have ever partaken in - Tatuaje Gran Cojonu with a Chocolate Milkshake!!! This was done out of a promise to Matt (Lorglath)!!! He furnished this cigars after I won a contest he ran on Club Stogie!!!

Cheers Matt!!!


Was is actually good?

Was is actually good?

I had to wash it all down with a beer!!!;)

The cigar itself is a 6.5 X 60 committment but the shake provided enough flem at the back of my throat which prevented that dry acrid feeling!

Twas good stuff, wasn't it Patrick? I enjoyed my Mimosa with an 80s Monte Especiale, which was already burning prior to the drink making, so I stuck with it. Still damn good, but the PL is supposed to be the perfect compliment. Another great nod to Drill!!!

You know, this takes me back to the Cigar Afficianado thread, a thread more about cigar snobs (those who smoke their cigars more for the band than the taste).

Why do I say that? Because I might be a beer snob... :(

Personally, a light beer is a waste of the ingredients used to make it, I cannot stand the stuff - it has no flavor to me. However, it isn't my tastebuds that matter when you drink it. I'd say the cigar you chose would put anybody in a good enough mood to make just about anything enjoyable.

Anyway, my whole reason for this post was to say that I might have to change my tag line to include "drink what you like and enjoy it."

Peace of the Lord be with you.

You know, this takes me back to the Cigar Afficianado thread, a thread more about cigar snobs (those who smoke their cigars more for the band than the taste).


It goes hand in hand with:

1. for (beer) instance... porters are porters and im sure there are two porters out there that might taste exactly the same. Lets assume we have two porters that are identically tasting.... but one is a well known porter and one is a microbrew from kalamazoo....but the person says they ONLY like the lesser known brand to sound like they have a deeper and more snobbish knowledge of the "underground" beer industry.

is that what you mean in essence?

Point number 2:

In terms of music the same can be had for people that like certain genres... People tend to try and find bands like the mainstream ones they like that are not well known in attempt to look as if they are deeper into the music scene...


did i confuse people? does anybody agree with me?

Makes complete sense to me.

I've been getting into stouts a lot lately myself, and trying to find all kinds of good ones, and have been able to try several new ones, and found some that I really like. While I like these full bodies, full flavored beers, Miller Lite will work for me also. There's a time and place for each beer (and cigar). For example, I don't think you'd be smoking a Cohiba Sublime or something rare while moving the lawn or raking the leaves in the fall.

But ultimately...to each his own. Drink and smoke what you like. :D

Damn good pair right here! Boulevard Seeyoulater Dopplebock aged on cedar and a Kendall 7-20-4. I highly recommend this beer if you can find it. I think it would pair extreamly well with just about any cigar!!!

Travis (BeerAdvocate) hit me a week ago with home-brewed beer and Oliva cigars!!! I figured this could be a great combination... I was right!!!
http://img265.imageshack.us/img265/787/sevenfieldsandolivaconn.jpg
Travis' Seven Field's Dry Hop IPA was a hopfest!!! The first few sips offered a strong hops punch and a pleasant bitterness!!! Then it smoothed out with good balance of citrus and some pine!!! Seven Fields IPA paired perfectly with the Oliva Connecticut Robusto!!! The sweetness from the cigar paired nicely with the citrus of the ale!!!

Thanks so much Travis!!!:tu

I haven't tried it yet, but that seems like a match made in heaven--my favorite cc with one of my favorite IPAs!

I had the good fortune of visiting the DFH Brewery a few months ago. Got pictures around somewhere that I can post. First time I had their Palo Santo Marron, Burton Baton & Pangaea. Great stuff! I picked up a big bottle of Theobroma last weekend, should be an interesting brew:

A Hobgoblin Dark English Ale & an Illusione Epernay Le Grande. Not a bad combination, but the leathery/woody Epernay could have benefitted from something sweeter--maybe a stout or barleywine.



And what's with the 11.2 oz beer? I got gypped out of 0.8 oz!
